Brazilian soccer star Neymar has been discharged from hospital after undergoing successful surgery on his injured right foot.

"The operation will be in Belo Horizonte on Saturday morning, and the recovery takes from two-and-a-half months to three months", he was quoted as saying by BBC Sport.

"The operation, conducted by Doctor Rodrigo Lasmar, was successful".

Neymar may not be able to influence PSG's results on the pitch, but Henrique is adamant the 26-year-old will be able to play a pivotal role from the stands while he recovers.

The move could reduce or eliminate Amazon's current need to pay banking partners and payment processors to handle transactions. If successful, the effort could place Amazon's services at the financial heart of American households: their cash flow.

Neymar is now expected to miss the next three months of action, likely ruling him out for the rest of the club season and seeing him return to fitness just in time for this summer's World Cup in Russian Federation.

But despite these initial injury fears, doctors have said Neymar should be available for training two weeks before the tournament begins with all things being well.

Lasmar pointed out that physiotherapy would be done by Rafael Martino, who does work both for PSG and the Brazilian national team, which "shows the integration of all parties".

"Re-education will begin immediately under the direction of a club physiotherapist".

But if Lasmar's prognosis of a almost three-month wait is true, then Brazil will be scrambling even to get him ready for the World Cup in Russian Federation starting in June. "He will devote himself to being well as soon as possible".

On March 6, PSG host Champions League holders Real Madrid, already trailing 3-1 from the first leg.
